Vormetric, Inc. is a private data security company headquartered in San Jose, California, United States that provides products and services to prevent sensitive data theft from hackers and malicious insiders by securing structured data in databases and unstructured data located in file systems. Vormetric claims more than 1,100 customers including 17 of the Fortune 25. ==History== Founded in November 2001, Vormetric markets software and hardware for encryption and key management that protect high value data from data loss and theft. The company’s developed technology that encrypts data at the filesystem or volume manager layer with keys managed in an appliance. The technology called “Metaclear” enables file metadata to be in the clear while the file data is encrypted, enabling a separation of duties as file owners access data while file administrators can view metadata. This approach provides encryption, access control, and reporting. Vormetric branched out from providing encryption with integrated key management to also provide enterprise key management for third party encryption keys. This includes management of keys for Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server databases using Transparent Data Encryption along with vaulting and expiration tracking for keys of any strength, both symmetric and asymmetric. Vormetric’s investors include Vanguard Ventures, Quicksilver Ventures, JK&B Capital, Split Rock Partners and Sigma Partners. In November 2012, after a quiet departure by Richard Gorman as CEO, the company announced Alan Kessler would take his place. Kessler is a former vice president at HP. After the change of command, Vormetric explored the possibility of going public. However, on 19 October 2015, Vormetric announced that it was being acquired by Thales Group for $400M. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vormetric」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
